What's going on at AA re: furlough recalls?

[thruthemurk]

It all depends how old they are when hired. Time since hiring is only one factor.

 

[Vne]

100-800 furloughs starting 09/08 TBA 3rd week July.
jmo...

I'm guessing the 25 -80's and 15 300's will be parked and the coming 737's will replace more aircraft to be parked.

FA's rumor is 5,000 furloughed.

Crew waiting for SFO van was panic'd over the parking of ALL 737's and cancelling orders.

First person hired off the street, whenever that is, will be #1 on the seniority list for a minimum of ten years.

You would need to be 32 or younger if hired today to get to #1 at all. Hundreds of our guys are retiring between 2035 and 2041.

This I believe to be the case ( when and how many is the big question)

FA's rumor is 5,000 furloughed.

5,000 total employees ???? how many pilots are in that number??????

Parking of all the 73's, that makes no sense at all.
Cancelling orders perhaps, AA has given no indication that is indeed the case. We shall now soon enough.

How many AA pilots think their A-plan would survive a bankruptcy?

Hopefully ZERO.

You know there are a few at Delta that had the greed-factor a month or two too long. Look what that got 'em!

It will survive, but the lump sum payout will be gone gone gone. And who knows if the annuity will actually be around to pay out when the time comes in a few years. You'd have to be a Class 1 idiot not to take the money and run if it looked like BK was even a thin possibility 90 days out from then. If you don't, you deserve to pay the imbecile tax.

Now I find out the person who told me that was talking to a UNITED crew.

I need to get better sources... TC
